I'm rendering at 2048x1536, so the size that the step images end up at when the
minimum distance is 75000 is different to that of the parts images when they are
rendered at 640x480 and a minimum distance of 75000. No, I am not seeing it
switch back and forth. I'm just pointing out the difference in size between
parts and steps even when the same minimum distance is used.

I'm sorry; I was not clear in what I said. I'm using a buffer exchange, and
then calling the PLIST BEGIN IGN and BI BEGIN GREYED pairs after I call the
buffer retrieve statement. I'm at work right now, so I don't have my file in
front of me to get the exact order. I do know that I'm not calling any buffer
exchange commands inside of any LPub command pairs.
